[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 969966, member: 6771"] I believe it is a very valid question to ask about The Program. Apart from a special connection between recruit and position coach, I consider it to be the most important piece of the recruiting puzzle. I don't think it involves marketing per se, or only marginally. I believe the bedrock of The Program is winning. For some, albeit a shrinking some, another piece is academics. More and more, blue chip HS athletes are convinced they are going to have their payday in the NFL (or NBA, MLB, etc.) and they are looking for the place that will maximize that chance. A winning Program attracts the attention of high-level athletes. At that point, there are institutional Program factors that can negate a place of interest. Coaches, position depth, geographic location, and curriculum used to be main Program factors, however, recently NIL has moved to the top shelf and the Portal has shifted some of the others downward. I believe that curriculum is still a major Program issue for any athlete who is strongly considering GA Tech. You have to want to engage academics to enroll at GA Tech. Sadly, many just don't see that anymore as their ticket to success. Those athletes we will struggle to get. [/QUOTE]
